If you want to address a problem only on a Yes / No basis, the IH service manual does a great job of keeping it at a simple level.

I believe the simplest universal test is remove the field wire - does overcharging stop - yes , then replace the regulator.

But we already did that.

No need to replace the SG because it is capable of overcharging the battery - that just confirms it is good operating condition.

Owner says the wiring is good.

That's as far as I can go on a Yes and No level.
